Here are some everyday practices that hinder your path to success:
Wake up late
Successful people have been known to get up early, usually earlier than the rest of the house, so they can organize their workday, check the news, respond to emails, and enjoy the extra time exercising.
not taking care of health
When you don't take care of your health, you are tired, less productive, more stressed and with low immunity, that is, more susceptible to diseases. How are you going to focus on building your dream if you have to deal with these factors every day?
not read
Successful people invest time and effort to increase their knowledge, stay current with the day's news and top trends in their field, as well as learn from inspiring biographies. Reading brings different perspectives, allows different points of view, in addition to serving as an inspiration for you to never give up and think bigger. If you read five book pages a day, by the end of the year you will have read 8 to 10 books. Have you ever thought about it?
Rely on only one source of income
Successful people have multiple sources of income, which ensures wealth diversification and prevents all eggs from being in a single basket, increasing income and minimizing possible risks.
Getting an extra job to pay off debt, save for retirement or invest doesn't necessarily mean a job with terrible working conditions and bad pay. It could be something you like to do, like writing about a certain topic on blogs, for example. Over time, you can gain followers and hence money from advertisers.
Not establishing a financial plan
Everyone needs to create a financial plan, and most importantly, follow it. When you don't set rules for your purchases, you end up spending more than you earn and can create deep financial chaos. If you realize that you are in this situation, then it is time to urgently review your expenses, organize a proper budget and cut unnecessary expenses.
spend without limits
According to a recent survey by Folha de S. Paulo, about 90% of disadvantaged people do not invest and most have accumulated debts to maintain their lifestyle. As a result, they don't have money for retirement, for their children's college or to pursue opportunities presented to them.
Not paying attention to small expenses
If you think spending $5,00 on a cup of coffee every day has no impact on your wealth, as does paying a $90,00 monthly gym plan that you rarely use, then it's time to review your priorities.
Even though the prices seem small, they add up quickly and, therefore, a budget is essential, as it allows greater control of your expenses and makes it clear what is not right at the end of the month.
Instead of going for coffee every day at a place you love, for example, make it a weekly reward after you've had a productive week. In the case of monthly fees, try to focus only on those you actually use.
make excuses
Saying you want to “seize the moment” is a bad excuse for not working towards a more prosperous future. Stop making excuses and start taking action. If you are sinking into debt, for example, don't think about saving, but about paying them off first, and then saving and investing.
If you don't earn enough, adjust your budget or try to find another source of income. It won't solve all your problems, but it's a good start for you to get rid of all your excuses.
Knowing and overcoming these daily habits, you will definitely be walking towards the realization of your dreams.
Oh… and first of all, be clear about what your dreams really are. The more specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound they are, the greater your chances of achieving them.
Success! Cheers! Prosperity! Let's go!
